“I have tried to keep my appointments brief and only asking questions of Dr. Ringnes that were most important to me at that time. Surgeons are busy Doctors, and I respect that. That said, in the future, I know he will accommodate more time for my questions and concerns if I need it. He has always treated me with dignity and respect which I highly value. Dr. Ringnes has extremely focused a great listener and an excellent surgeon. I want to mention Kathy, the care coordinator for surgeons at TFH, was instrumental in addressing many questions, numerous concerns, and a boatload of insecurities I harbored before surgery which helped me to go through with it.”
